New Moon

The Next Day...

The next morning I woke up with a pounding headache, I looked at the time it was 11: 56 am, I had slept till almost noon. I got up and slowly walked down stairs to breakfast. My step-mom Jess was standing there with her arms crossed. She started yelling at me, my head was hurting so bad I couldn't tell what she was saying to I rolled my eyes and she yelled more. I could tell she wanted to hit me, but luckily my 9 - year old sister, Addison, was there. I looked over at my sister, "come on, Addison, let's go for a walk" I said. She nodded and walked with me outside. We started walking down the road in silence. Someone tapped on my shoulder and I turned around to see Zach, "sorry about the whole water thing last night, my friends can be quite stupid" he said simply.
"It's ok, not a big deal" I said shrugging, and continued walking.
Addison looked up at me, "Alexander, where were you last night?" She asked gently.
"A party" I replied simply.
"Your hungover, aren't you?" She asked.
I nodded, "Yeah"
"Let's go to the dinner, you can have some coffee" she said.
"good idea, and I'll buy you a milkshake" I said.
She smiled at me, "that would be great".

When we got to the dinner and got our drinks we sat in the booth across from each other. I was thinking of something that had happened the night before, I remembered kissing someone, his face, but not his name.
"What...well who are you think about?" Addison asked me.
"Oh...um...well...yesterday, someone kissed me. I can't remember his name though" I said sadly.
"Oh well, if your lucky you'll meet him again" she smiled.
I sighed, "hopefully".

After a few hours, we left and walked the streets. Till we found an abandoned house, with no houses near it. We went inside, it was getting dark out, soon the moon would be up. We went to a room near the center of the house and sat down.
"What are we doing here?" Addison asked.
"It's a full moon" I said simply. She nodded and gave me a hug.
We sat there for a while then I heard trucks outside and yelling. I stood up, "Addison, wait here, I'll be back". I pulled my hood over my head and walked out keeping my head down. I saw a large group of people carrying torches walking towards the house. I ran up to one of them, it was....Zach?
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
"Alex?! What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I was- uh" I stuttered.
"Never mind, just get out of the way" he pushing me aside.
"Wait my sisters in there!" I said turning around, when I did my hood fell down and I looked up into the moon.
Zach looked at me fearfully, "I'll get her" he said and ran off.
I stepped back towards the woods as I felt myself shift into a wolf. I fell to the ground and curled in a ball. Zach threw a blanket over me, "I've got you Alex" he said.
I felt a set of small arms wrap around me, "it's ok Alexander" my sister said quietly.
I fell asleep in her arms.
